Read the operating instructions and the product-specific documents carefully before
commissioning the sensor.
Make sure that the sensor is fully suitable for the applications in question.
Improper use or any use other than intended may result in a malfunction of the sensor or
undesirable effects in your application. For this reason, installation, electrical connection,
commissioning and maintenance of the sensor may only be carried out by trained personnel
authorized by the plant operator.
We also expressly point out that any liability is excluded if instructions in this documentation
are disregarded.
Current certificates can be downloaded from the BROSA AG website.
Only the German version of this operating manual represents the original document.

2 Description of the BROSA tubular load cell
.1 Structure and functionality
The BROSA Type 0 06 tubular load cell is designed to detect the force in two-way shear
connections in or on machines and devices of all kinds.
Fig. 1: Tubular load cell
The tubular load cell consists of a hollow cylindrical measuring body (1), that absorbs the
load to be measured and exhibits the properties for torsional and axial securing (1a) as well
as a connection support ( ) firmly connected to the measuring body in some cases, on which
- if not placed directly on the measuring body - the necessary elements for the electrical
connection (plug or cable, 3) are attached and which - if not placed in the measuring body -
contains the measurement electronics. The constrictions (1b) in the measuring body for
technical measurement reasons can be provided with a filling depending on the application
or optionally on request. Optionally, the measuring body can contain elements to lubricate
the bearing (1c). A threaded pin for electrical equipotential bonding is optionally available.
The measuring body and connection support, if applicable, are made of stainless steel;
Optional versions in Q&T or galvanized steel, are available.
Figures a to c show the typical installation conditions; A distinction can be made between
three basic variants in which the force F transmitted by the connection is transmitted to the
measuring electronics by evaluating the resulting deformation of the measuring body and is
output as an electrical signal:

Figure a: Installation conditions, force applied to the outside diameter, on the inside - support
on the outside diameter, on the outside
The tubular load cell (1) is inserted into the appropriately designed mounting holes ( ). The
force is transmitted from the introduction on the outside diameter, on the inside, to the support
also on the outside diameter, on the outside.

Figure b: Installation conditions, force applied to the outside diameter, on the inside - support
on the inside diameter, on the outside
The tubular load cell (1) is inserted into the appropriately designed mounting holes ( ). Its bore
takes a correspondingly designed bolt in two places (3). The force is transmitted from the
application to the outside diameter, on the inside, to the support on the inside diameter, on the
outside.
Fig. c: Installation conditions, force applied to the outside diameter, on the outside - support
on the inside diameter, on the inside
The tubular load cell (1) is inserted into the appropriately designed mounting holes ( ). Its
bore takes a correspondingly designed bolt in one place (3). The force is transmitted from the
application to the outside diameter, on the outside, to the support on the inside diameter, on
the inside.
Versions with two measuring systems, either with output signals on separate
connectors/cables or combined in one connector/cable, are available as options. More
information can be found in the technical datasheets, which can be obtained free of charge
from BROSA.
WARNING! An insufficiently rigid surrounding construction, inadequate force
transmission or inadequate surface condition of the force-carrying surfaces affect the
measurement result!

Use of intrinsically safe tubular load cells in zone 0 is not allowed.
Current certificates can be downloaded from the BROSA AG website.
.3 Label (nameplate, indication of measuring direction)
Each BROSA tubular load cell is equipped with a nameplate containing the respective
information applicable for the given product. Depending on the structural design, it can be
attached either on the front (Figure 3, 1a) or on the periphery (Figure 3, 1b).

3 Advice on the safe handling of BROSA tubular load cells
WARNING! Non-compliance with the following instructions can lead to sensor damage
and/or impairment of measurement results. The analysis of an erroneous measurement can
result in personal injury or material damage.
WARNING! Despite their sturdy design, BROSA tubular load cells may not be used for
any other than the intended purpose (see. Section 1.1). With improper use, dangers to life and
limb of the user or third parties and/or impairment of the device in which the tubular load cell
is implemented or other material assets can be caused.
3.1 Handling
WARNING! BROSA sensors contain high-quality measurement electronics. Make sure
they are handled carefully.
- BROSA tubular load cells are delivered in transport-safe packaging. We recommended
that you remove the sensors from the package immediately prior to installation.
- The mass of the tubular load cell is to be observed when selecting appropriate handling
equipment and/or lifting gear; it is indicated on the nameplate.
- BROSA tubular load cells must be secured against falling. Do not throw sensors!
- Use as a tool (e.g., impact, slotting or lever tool) is not permitted; it can cause
damage to the sensor and thus falsify the measurement results.
3. Installation and commissioning
3. .1 General information
We recommended taking the following actions in the given order using the “four-eye
principle”.
a) Inspecting the sensor - measuring point assignment: It must be ensured that the
sensor to be installed is designed for use at the intended measuring point. For this
purpose, check information on the nameplate, in particular the item or the

identification number and the measuring range, against the data of the measuring
point.
WARNING! A sensor not designed for the particular measuring point must not be
installed.
b) Inspection of the sensor for intactness and function: It must be ensured that the
sensor to be incorporated is free of damage of any kind.
WARNING! A damaged sensor must not be installed!
c) Installation of the sensor in the measuring point: The tubular load cell is to be aligned
on the intended contact surface according to the offer drawing.
WARNING! The tubular load cell must not be driven in using impact tools!
After alignment, the tubular load cell must be secured against movement and rotation using
the elements provided for this purpose. Attention must be paid to the correct alignment of the
tubular load cell to the intended measuring direction (see front mark, compare Section 1. .)
WARNING! A misaligned sensor leads to erroneous measurement results!
d) Establishment of electrical connection: The elements on the sensor for the electrical
connection are to be connected to the power supply, the earth connection if
necessary, and the evaluation system of the device. In doing so, the information
given on the nameplate for plug or cable assignment and, if applicable the installation
guidelines of the cable, are to be observed.
WARNING! An incorrect or incomplete electrical connection impairs or prevents
measurement.
e) Functional check: After completed mechanical (see c) and electric (see d) installation,
load on the sensor is to be applied over the entire measuring range; the output
measurement signals are to be subjected to a plausibility check.
